This company cost us many months of stress and a lot of money due to the incompetence of our loan manager. It was made clear from the very beginning, and we have proof, that we informed them we had a contract for deed (owner financing) and wanted to do a cash out refinance. We were told this would not be a problem and so, we proceeded with the process. Everything was satisfied on our end and just a couple days from closing the company states they can not offer a cash out refinance because we have a contract for deed, even though this was known by Vetrans United from the first moment we spoke with them and talked about several times thereafter. They even had a copy of our official contract for deed long before they requested our payment for the appraisal, the CL100, well water inspections, and termite treatments. All fees/services we would not have paid for if not required for the cash out refinance. These fees totalled nearly $1,400. That's $1,400 completely wasted because our loan manager, *****, was unaware of her own company policies that state they do not do cash out refinances to customers with a contract for deed. We are a disabled veteran family with 3 children living on a single income. This is a lot of money for us. We were wrongfully told by our loan manager, an agent acting on behalf of Vetrans United, that if we paid these fees and met all other requirements (which we did) we would get our cash out refinance. We should not be held financially liable for a Vetrans United employees lack of knowledge in regards to their own company policies. If she had known her own company policy and informed us of this on day 1 we would not have wasted months of time and $1400.Business Response

In October - November 2022 when we purchased our home we were charged legal fees and forced to pay $500. Additionally we have been charged a higher interest rate and hidden fees when refinancing. Our original purchase price was ******* our current mortgage after 2 years is *******.

I am a disabled veteran by 70% and currently pending another disability. I applied for a VA home loan through Veterans United Home ***** and was pre-approved. We placed an offer on our dream home and couldnt be happier. Four days before closing they asked for a form that I could not get form the VA and told them that due to the security clearance I had its hard to get records of some of my service. I was told that without this form I could not get the loan. I was told at the beginning of the process a month before that I would not need this form because I had an honorable discharge and disability income from the military. It took over a year and a federal investigation to get disability benefits because of my clearance. How can I get something in four days? So we tried to switch to FHA so we would not loose our dream home and now we are way past closing, about to lose the house, have lost thousands of dollars, lost two positions in the town we are moving to which is 17 hours away. I am having hourly panic attacks and they refuse to give us any information on our loan. Just keep asking the same question and for the same documents over and over again. I have ******* disease so I dont have working adrenal glands and can not respond to stress. I have gone into two adrenal crises due to this already.Business Response

I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: they had three weeks of knowledge that my husband was staying at his employment. Per email documentation that they failed to respond to. Then two days after our closing date decided to tell us that would not work.I have many more screenshots of email correspondence that very clearly show that they led us to believe this was okay for three weeks and then when we were already past our closing date it was not okay. We are no longer under contract for our dream home because these people just dont care.
This is not okay. We have spent thousands on repairs for a house that we lost because this company cannot communicate correctly.
Sincerely,
Haykey *******Business Response

This company did not communicate for three weeks in regards to Spencers employment. We let them know countless times that he would be staying with his current employer with no objections from the company until after closing had passed. They only sent an email stating that they could not serve us. No one called. No one ever stated that we were not going to get the loan. Just and email showed up two weeks after closing.Initial Complaint

My husband submitted a claim with our insurance universal casualty over a year ago, we've had issues with receiving the check but finally got it reissued a month ago. We've been in communication with them for a few weeks and was advised to next day a check to them when we received it. We paid $50 to next day the check only to find out additional documents were needed. We sent those documents with no updates. We then spoke to a supervisor on 8/27 who confirmed receipt of what was needed. We were also told that she would call us back the next day, put in a request against the full amount for our first draw and request it be expedited. We heard nothing for over a week. Had to contact them back just for them to request ANOTHER document that we were never told was needed. In the meantime our roof is a YEAR behind on being fixed and we are prime storm/hurricane season. I contact them yesterday asked if I could get a supervisor where I waited almost 15 mins, then was hung up on with no return call or outreach.Business Response

Veterans United management has been in contact with the consumer to discuss an amicable resolution but the consumer has declined our offers. We understand the process for repairing a home can be arduous and have provided several options to assist, including sending checks in installments as the construction repairs are completed to pay the contractor, in alignment with industry standards. Veterans United also offered to consider an exception to release more funds on the condition of obtaining documentation from a contractor showing they are necessary to get the repairs started. While we understand the consumer wishes to obtain the full amount of the funds immediately, we must also ensure that insurance funds are used to complete the repairs for which they were intended, in accordance with the contract signed by the consumer at closing.

I received a letter from veterans United home loans, claiming that I applied for a home loan through their agency. I never applied for any home loan through their agency. When I called them to dispute this, they claimed I spoke to someone named ***** last year. I told him I remember to speaking to someone concerning some possible veterans benefits in regards to death benefits. I then asked if a supervisor, or someone from their their lgal department could call me back and discuss that this would not affect my credit rating, and that there would be a record of me never applying for a home loan through their company.Business Response

The sale of our home closed on 4/24. Veteran's United was sent $86,546.80 from our title company. Veteran's United sent us a payoff letter dated 4/25 stating that the final payment of $84,417.41 had been processed and the mortgage is officially paid off, and that any money they owe us will be returned by check. I called to see where the refund was and I was told that they were only sent $85,128.32 by title and that we owed that much and there was no refund. Veteran's United by their own calculations of the balance they accepted full payment for, owes me $2,129.39, which is the difference between what they were sent from title and what they stated was our final payment that paid our loan off entirelyBusiness Response

I was disrespected and discriminated against as a disabled Afghanistan veteran with hearing loss. Yesterday I was mislead by a loan officer who told me I had a mortgage in my name in *****, which prompted HUGE concern considering I've never owned property in *****. ******, I believe was his name, told me (PULL THE CALL FOR THIS ONE) "Well, at least they're paying on time". This caused a frantic leave from my work to get to the bottom of why there were two mortgages in my name. It turned out to be a "*****************" on my credit report so I called back to correct their mistake and ****** proceeded to double-down that he was certain I currently had two mortgages on my credit report, my current in ******* and mine in *****. I escalated the issue to a customer complaint representative who put me with an equally incompetent loan officer who couldn't understand my frustration with yesterday and completely disrespected me due to my hearing loss. TWO days in a row and I reached back out to ******************* the "client advocate" who WILL NOT ESCALATE THE ISSUE FARTHER. He claims it stops at him. This is a direct violation of SEVERAL laws. I want all calls pulled from yesterday May 6, 2024 and today May 7, 2024 reviewed, my issue escalated and a call from a manager.Business Response
